Wang Rong has been following Kou Yanqing for more than ten years, from a small captain to the current commander, and he does have outstanding practical experience.

At this time, in the face of the sudden attack of the Wu army's cavalry, he figured out how to deal with it in a short period of time, and Kou Yanqing asked him to come to Shoule Township City to use people properly.

Under his orders, the defenders of the city were quickly mobilized, and some of the defenders began to pick up spears and stab the "friendly" soldiers crowded at the gates one by one, and then tried to close the gates.

Behind them, there were 500 Liang troops in formation, and they began to arrange the pickets and other things in an orderly manner to prevent the enemy from attacking with cavalry after breaking through the city gates.

The defenders on the walls of the city were raining down on the city, and it was not up to them to see if the arrows they shot hit their own men or the enemy.

Under the city walls, Chai Kehong was equally surprised in the face of such a decisive response from the enemy.

"This guard has some courage to dare to give the order to release arrows at such a time."

He turned his head to look at the city gate not far away, where a large group of enemy soldiers was still crowded with each other, but it was obvious that the gate was slowly closing, which made Chai Kehong shake his head.

"It seems that the opportunity has been lost, and the enemy is so cautious and so decisive that it will not be so easy to take the city. Let's destroy the enemy and leave quickly! ”

Although the enemy army transporting grain blocked the city gate so that it could not be closed quickly, it also blocked the road of the Wu army's surprise attack, especially those grain trucks, which greatly limited the speed of the cavalry, making it impossible for them to quickly storm the city gate and take it.

Fortunately, although the city could not be captured, it was a small victory to solve an enemy army's grain convoy so easily.

After quickly clearing the enemy's army, the Wu cavalry poured the liquor they carried on the grain and grass, and then set it on fire, and this time the grain and grass were burned except for a small amount that had been transported into the city at the beginning.

After doing all this, Chai Kehong walked away without a moment's pause.

As for the fleeing folk and the enemy, they are just a flock of frightened birds at this time, and it doesn't matter if they are spared.

On the city wall, after seeing the enemy leave, Wang Rong breathed a sigh of relief and was also a little worried in his heart.

The enemy army is all cavalry that comes and goes without wind, and the Liang army does not have many cavalry, and in the face of the enemy's surprise attack, it can only react passively, which is not good news for the Liang army.

After making sure that the cavalry of the Wu army had gone away, he sent people out of the city, preparing to send the news of the surprise attack of the enemy cavalry to Kou Yanqing's army.

As for how Kou Yanqing should deal with it, it is not for him to ask.

……

After launching a surprise attack on the enemy's grain convoy at the gate of Lexiang City, Chai Kehong did not stop nearby, but immediately led his army to join Hou Zhan, who had stayed not far away, and then went south around Lexiang City, preparing to find a place to camp.

In this assault on the enemy's grain transport team, the Wu army only invested 1,000 cavalry, and the other 2,000 cavalry stayed in the rear to watch the battle.

After all, the size of the enemy's food transport team is not large, and there is no need to invest 3,000 cavalry at a time, 1,000 people are enough.

Although Hou Zan was a little disappointed that he failed to capture the city, Chai Kehong was satisfied with the fact that he had completed the task brilliantly when he led his troops to charge for the first time.

After that, this powerful cavalry attacked everywhere and constantly attacked the enemy, not only the enemy's grain transport team, but also those enemy soldiers who went out to collect firewood and horse feed.

For a time, with Lexiang as the center, thirty miles to the north and thirty miles to the south, there were signs of Wu cavalry infesting everywhere, which gave the Liang generals a headache.

At the end of March, the Wu army captured Changlin and captured more than 1,000 defenders.

After all, Changlin is just a small county town, the city walls are not high, and there are not many defenders, and under the fierce attack of the Wu army, it was still unable to stop it in the end.

After losing the support point of Changlin, Kou Yanqing immediately decided to temporarily stop going south, stabilize his position first, and at the same time send people to ask for help from the Shu army.

After these days of fighting, he also basically found out the strength of the Wu army, not only in terms of strength, but also in the combat power of the army.

After all, the enemy army is an elite soldier who has undergone rigorous training and is often trained on the battlefield; However, the Liang army was improvised from the state soldiers in the Central Plains states, and its combat power could not be compared with the Wu army's forbidden army.

And in the case that the combat power is not as good as others, and the strength is also inferior to people, if Kou Yanqing does not know that defense is the mainstay, then he is too stupid.

As for the grain route threatened by the enemy, Kou Yanqing ordered to send heavy troops to escort the grain and grass on the one hand, but on the other hand, he sent people to urge Liu Yan to go south as soon as possible.

If the 10,000 reinforcements led by Liu Cheng can arrive in time, then even if the battle situation cannot be changed, at least the stability of the rear can be guaranteed, and there is no need to worry about the problem of lack of food and grass.

……

When Kou Yanqing began to change his strategy and sent people to ask the Shu army for help, the commander of the Shu army also thought of the problem of joining the Liang army as soon as possible.

Before this, the main force of the Shu army wanted to rush to Jiangling as soon as possible, but they didn't want to be blocked by the Wu army's construction of a camp in a dangerous place.

The terrain around Yiling is relatively complex, except for a flat land near the Yangtze River, the rest of the place is mainly mountainous, which is conducive to defense and not conducive to attack.

At the beginning, Liu Bei led the army eastward, and the momentum was fierce along the way, but here it was blocked by the elite of the Wu army, and the confrontation could not make a breakthrough for several months.

Now that the Shu army is also facing the blockade of the Wu army, how easy is it to make a breakthrough in a short period of time?

Fortunately, there are still capable people in the Shu army after all.

At this time, in the tent of the Chinese army, King Wang Zongshou, who was wearing gorgeous armor, was quietly listening to the opinions of his subordinate general Zhang Wu.

"Your Highness, at this time in this mountain with the Wu army, although the enemy army is small, as long as the main road is held, our army can be blocked; It's better to march north first and break through to flat ground as soon as possible. ”

"What's more, according to the news we have inquired, the main force of the enemy army has gone to the side of the Liang army, and the enemy troops who stayed outside Jiangling City and the enemy troops who came to stop us are not many. Obviously, the enemy's plan should be to defeat the Liang army first, then concentrate on defeating our army, and finally return to the division to attack Gangneung, so as to achieve the effect of each break! ”

Zhang Wunai was the deputy commander of the army, and his specific position was the deputy envoy of Zhenjiang Jiedu and the envoy of Ma Bu, who happened to be the deputy of Wang Zongshou, the king of Jia.

However, compared with Wang Zongshou, who has literary talents but not many generals, Zhang Wu's ability to lead troops is naturally much stronger.

This time, he and Wang Zongshou led the troops to rescue Jiangling, and he proposed to Wang Zongshou at the beginning that after joining up with the Liang army first, they would go south together to rescue Jiangling.

When the time comes, the two armies will be united, with a strength of up to 100,000 troops, and they will be able to support each other, so they will not have to worry about being broken by each other, but they will be able to put great pressure on the enemy with their strong forces.

As long as Wu Wang Yang Wu is not sure enough, then he will not easily launch a decisive battle; At that time, the two sides can only fight a war of attrition, and after a long time, the enemy army will see that there is no chance of victory, so it will naturally have to retreat.

It's a pity that Wang Zongshou is the real commander of the Shu army, but for Zhang Wu's suggestion, Wang Zongshou rejected it on the grounds that it took too long.

What Wang Zongshou advocated was "the speed of the soldiers", and he fought to Jiangling City as soon as possible, and forced the Wu army to retreat together with the Liang army.

However, Wang Zongshou's claim was dealt a heavy blow at the beginning.

After sending troops from Xiazhou, it didn't take long for them to encounter resolute resistance from the Wu army, and as a result, they could not move an inch.

After being drunk, Wang Zongshou calmed down and began to think about whether his method was appropriate, and at this time, Zhang Wu once again put forward his opinion.

"Are you saying that if we don't unite with the Liang army as soon as possible, then the Wu army may be able to defeat us in various ways? However, as far as Gu knows, the enemy's strength is not much more than that of the Liang army, is Kou Yanqing so incompetent that he can't even contain the enemy army for a while? Wang Zongshou asked with some puzzlement.

As Wang Jian's nephew, Wang Zongshou's reputation in Shu is extremely good.

He has a generous and courteous personality, and reads poetry and books, and is widely known among the Shu Kingdom, especially in governing the local area.

Many people in Shu felt that if Wang Jianneng passed the throne to King Jia, it would be the best choice; Unfortunately, everyone also understands that it is impossible.

Although Wang Zongshou was good at governing places, he was a bit of a layman in leading troops to fight, and he was not sure whether Zhang Wu's advice was good or bad.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Wu could only reply with a wry smile: "Your Highness, although Kou Yanqing has a large number of troops, his army is all patchwork, and its combat power is far inferior to that of the Wu army; And I heard that the Wu army still has a lot of cavalry, if we don't join the Liang army as soon as possible, I'm afraid that he will really be defeated by the enemy! ”

Wang Zongshou was still a little puzzled, "Since the enemy's plan is to concentrate forces to destroy the Liang army, the enemy forces in front of him must be insufficient; So why don't we destroy the enemy army in front of us as soon as possible, and then go to join the Liang army, so that the siege of Jiangling will naturally be lifted! ”

This was what he had always planned, and he still insisted on it until now.

"Your Highness, the situation facing our army is different from that of the Liang army! If nothing else, can His Highness guarantee that the enemy army in front of him will be wiped out before the Liang army is defeated? Zhang Wu asked a little disapprovingly.

"This ......" Wang Zongshou hesitated.

After all, he is just a pampered son of a noble family, although he has read a lot of books, he has never led troops to fight before, so he is naturally not very familiar with military affairs.

Fortunately, he didn't hesitate for long, and a guard came to report that a messenger from Liang Jun for help had come.
